Question

24. Measurements are made of the renal tubular fluid concentration of various substances along the length of the proximal tubule and plotted as the tubular fluid to plasma
concentration ratio (TF/P). As these substances are reabsorbed along with water, the following profiles are obtained. (All substances are freely filtered at the glomerulus, the TF/P =
1 at the glomerulus.) Glucose is represented by which of the following curves?

Expert Solution

Step 1

The correct answer is option E) E.

The portion of the curve represented by the letter E shows the ratio of tubular fluid to plasma concentration with an increase in the proximal tube length. With increases in the percentage proximal tubular length, tubular fluid by plasma concentration value decreases exponentially. This indicates that they are entirely reabsorbed from the kidney. Those components that are located in the upper portion of this plot are secreted, while the other components below it are reabsorbed.
